Proposal description

Planning permission for development at the former 'Irish Distillers Building', Smithfield, Dublin 7 (the site is bounded by Phoenix Street to the south; Smithfield Square to the west; New Church Street to the north and Bow Street to the east). The proposed development consists of amendments to a previously permitted development under DCC Planning Ref. 2024/16 (An Bord Pleanala Ref. PL29N.246933) to include the provision of rooftop plant and omission of Condition 4 of planning permission DCC Reg. Ref. 2024/16 (An Bord Pleanala Ref. PL29N.246933). The proposed rooftop plant will be enclosed by an aluminium louvre screen. The top level of the screen sits at +36.310m, approximately 2.55m above corresponding parapet level (+33.670m). A Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel area will be provided at roof level, immediately to the south of the enclosed plant area. Other internal and associated external alterations include the infill of the permitted setback at the north-western corner (junction of New Church Street and Smithfield Square) of the permitted building at ground and first floor level, to provide an additional 31.8 sq.m (GFA) of retail/restaurant floorspace at ground floor level (to permitted Retail Unit No. 1) and the provision of an additional 13.5 sq.m (GFA) of office floorspace at first floor level and thereby increasing the previously approved office floorspace from 18,236 sq.m (GFA) to 18,249.5 sq.m (GFA).
